“…Each study answers a different set of research questions and employs slightly different methodologies, and the geographies under surveillance differ in size, population density, physician practices, access to healthcare facilities, and access to microbiologically safe water and improved sanitation. …”

The burden and characteristics of enteric fever at a healthcare facility in a densely populated area of Kathmandu. by Karkey, A, Arjyal, A, Anders, K, Boni, M, Dongol, S, Koirala, S, My, P, Nga, T, Clements, A, Holt, K, Duy, P, Day, J, Campbell, J, Dougan, G, Dolecek, C, Farrar, J, Basnyat, B, Baker, S

“…We found that local population density was not related to incidence and we identified a focus of infections in the east of LSMC. …”

The gut microbiome of healthy Vietnamese adults and children is a major reservoir for resistance genes against critical antimicrobials by Pereira-Dias, J, Nguyen Ngoc Minh, C, Tran Thi Hong, C, Nguyen Thi Nguyen, T, Ha Thanh, T, Zellmer, C, Chung The, H, Pike, L, Higginson, EE, Baker, S

“…Given the animal/human population density and high antimicrobial consumption rate in Southeast Asia, the region is a focal area for monitoring antimicrobial resistance (AMR). …”

Evaluation of strain circulation and the epidemiology of enteric fever caused by Karkey, A, Abhilasha Karkey

“…Considerable burden of enteric fever, unrelated to population density, correlating with the seasonal fluctuations in rainfall was observed. …”

Incidence of invasive salmonella disease in sub-Saharan Africa: a multicentre population-based surveillance study by Marks, F, von Kalckreuth, V, Aaby, P, Adu-Sarkodie, Y, El Tayeb, M, Ali, M, Aseffa, A, Baker, S, Biggs, H, Bjerregaard-Andersen, M, Breiman, R, Campbell, J, Cosmas, L, Crump, J, Cruz Espinoza, L, Deerin, J, Dekker, D, Fields, B, Gasmelseed, N, Hertz, J, Van Minh Hoang, N, Im, J, Jaeger, A, Jeon, H, Kabore, L, Keddy, K, Konings, F, Krumkamp, R, Ley, B, Løfberg, S, May, J, Meyer, C, Mintz, E, Montgomery, J, Niang, A, Nichols, C, Olack, B, Pak, G, Panzner, U, Park, J, Park, S, Rabezanahary, H, Rakotozandrindrainy, R, Raminosoa, T, Razafindrabe, T, Sampo, E, Schütt-Gerowitt, H, Sow, A, Sarpong, N, Seo, H, Sooka, A, Soura, A, Tall, A, Teferi, M, Thriemer, K, Warren, M, Yeshitela, B, Clemens, J, Wierzba, T

“…INTERPRETATION: Typhoid fever and iNTS disease are major causes of invasive bacterial febrile illness in the sampled locations, most commonly affecting children in both low and high population density settings. The development of iNTS vaccines and the introduction of S Typhi conjugate vaccines should be considered for high-incidence settings, such as those identified in this study. …”
